Herbert Fritz KNOPF
£1,750.00
Maker: Herbert Fritz KNOPF,
Markneukirchen, GDR (the former East
Germany).
Type: F/Bb double
Bell throat profile: medium
Alloy: lacquered yellow brass
Bell flare: fixed
Visual/cosmetic condition: the lacquer is slightly worn in
a few places; there are some small 'non acoustical'
blemishes: one of these can be seen in photo #2 (a
shallow 'ding'/ depression in the tubing emerging from
the 4th valve); the other blemishes are some tiny dings
in the bell flare, seen in photo #3, in which the
lacquer wear on the bell stay can also be seen.
Black fibreglass case with 3 functional clasps; the
case bears a label / sticker reading 'Alan Civil
collection'.
Further details: the horn's owner reports that the
valves' slides, when pulled, have a lot of 'poppiness',
indicating good compression, and that the horn
plays beautifully overall.
The only reason it is for sale is that its owner,
with whom the horn is housed, in North London,
decided fairly recently to stop playing.
Contact details can be supplied on
request.
Its 'sub-£2K' price qualifies it for a parallel
listing in the 'Intermediate' category, although it is
a professional-quality horn.
The photos can be viewed in greater detail
by opening and saving them.
